After nine days and two hours, we arrived at our anchorage. Down Huron, through St Claire River, Lac Ste Claire and the Detroit River, across Erie, transiting the Welland Canal, then across Lake Ontario. Three overnighters on the lakes and most of the wind fair. Only one layover day...not enough wind!
...Huron.
...Coming in to Windsor.
...St Clair River. Windsor suburbs. And yes, the water was that shade of blue. Who'd a 'thunk?
...Windsor
...The international border between Detroit and Windsor.
...The Welland Canal
...Lake Ontario. And completely worn out!
Well, the day after we got Dolphin safe at anchor, the winds picked up and off she trotted, dragging her anchor. That means she went stern first onto the gravel beach. The repair that Mike did got scraped off and the leak returned, but she only pumped every 20 minutes. Good thing there is a good facility literally right next door that can lift us out nicely and we can make the proper repair she's been waiting for.
And here's one more for the Lambton family!
...The Lambton Generating station, Lambton County.
So this leg of Dolphin's Great Adventure is over...but wait! We leave again for the Bahamas Sept. 1, lotsa work to do. So we'll see you then!
